About the role

The Ultrasound Transducer Engineer at iSono Health will be a hands-on contributor responsible for the characterization, evaluation, and electrical integration of ultrasound transducers within our imaging system.

This role sits at the intersection of acoustics, electronics, and system performance, and is critical to ensuring high image quality, system reliability, and successful product development. You will work closely with imaging, hardware, and software teams to translate transducer behavior into optimized system performance.

This is a high-impact execution role focused on building, testing, and improving real-world hardware.

• Perform detailed acoustic and electrical characterization of ultrasound transducers
• Design and execute test protocols using lab equipment
• Analyze performance across operating conditions and identify opportunities for improvement
• Work with external vendors and internal teams to evaluate and refine transducer performance

• Own the electrical interfacing and signal chain associated with the transducer
• Support debugging and optimization of signal integrity, noise, and system-level performance
• Collaborate with hardware engineers on front-end electronics, data acquisition, and system integration
• Contribute to design decisions that impact transducer performance within the full system

• Work closely with the imaging scientist to understand how transducer characteristics affect image quality
• Support beamforming and system parameter tuning from a hardware and signal perspective
• Assist in troubleshooting imaging artifacts and performance issues tied to transducer behavior

• Develop and maintain test and validation frameworks for transducer and imaging performance
• Support verification and validation (V&V) activities aligned with product and regulatory requirements
• Document test methods, results, and conclusions clearly for internal use and regulatory submissions

• Partner with manufacturing and cross-functional teams to ensure successful design transfer to production
• Investigate field and manufacturing issues using root-cause analysis and implement improvements
• Contribute to product reliability, performance consistency, and cost optimization efforts

• Work closely with imaging, software, QA, and product teams to ensure cohesive system development
• Communicate findings clearly and contribute to technical decision-making across teams
• Support alignment with design control processes and quality standards

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with ultrasound transducers or similar hardware systems
• Strong experience in transducer characterization and testing
• Solid understanding of ultrasound physics and beamforming fundamentals
• Experience with electrical engineering concepts, signal chains, and hardware interfacing
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, function generators, measurement systems)
• Ability to troubleshoot and debug system-level hardware and signal issues
• Strong documentation and communication skills

• Experience working with ultrasound vendors or custom transducer development
• Familiarity with acoustic measurement setups (e.g., hydrophone testing, phantom studies)
• Exposure to MATLAB and Python for data analysis and visualization
• Experience in medical device development, including design controls, V&V, and regulatory documentation
• Experience in fast-paced or startup environments

At iSono Health, we are building next-generation ultrasound technology to improve access to breast cancer screening. This role offers the opportunity to directly impact core imaging performance and work on a real product from development through manufacturing and deployment.

Salary is market competitive with experience and includes Stock Options, Health Benefits and 401k.

Annual Salary Range is $125,000 to $155,000
